Guns at Obama Events: Can I Point Out the Obvious?

Would it be the epitome of hubris for me to point out, despite the fact that a dozen protestors showed up at Obama’s Phoenix event on Monday armed with handguns, rifles and even an AR-15, that nobody was shot and nobody died?

Wouldn’t that be proof, even in a situation where a liberty-loving American might be tempted to pop off a few rounds in anger and frustration, that the guns themselves are not dangerous? That you can actually take them out in public and nobody need die?

Phoenix police said the gun-toters at Monday’s event, including the man carrying an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle slung over his shoulder, didn’t need permits. No crimes were committed, and no one was arrested.

Michelle Malkin: White House Preparing to Gut E-Verify

Just part of the Obama plan to destroy the United States’ preeminence in this world… “take the locks off the doors” and let everybody in to take your stuff:

Buzz on the Hill is that Team Obama will repeal some of the Executive Orders from the Bush Administration dealing with E-verify and so-called “No Match” Social Security number notices.

Barack Hussein Obama: Embracing His `Inner Muslim`

He just wants to be loved…

Just in case the Arab world hasn’t yet got this message of inbuilt tolerance, Mr. Obama himself has gone a step further. In an interview with France’s Canal Plus released on Tuesday evening, he suggested that the United States might be a Muslim country.

Why Government Can’t Run a Business

Read this:

Last year the Government Accountability Office estimated that no less than one-third of all Medicare disbursements for durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs and hospital beds, were improper or fraudulent. Medicare was so lax in its oversight that it was approving orthopedic shoes for amputees.

Presidential Sleight of Hand Keeps Reporter Befuddled

I ran across this hilariously sad (or is that sadly hilarious) story in the Beaufort (SC) Observer by a reporter, Elizabeth Sauls, who is trying to explain to her editor the reason why she can’t complete her story on President Obama. The problem? She starts the story, only to have Obama reverse course or break a campaign promise.

And that’s change we can pay for.

Also, he said that Obama has plans to raise taxes on US companies by $190 billion. And there’s when I quit, just gave up. If Obama raises corporate taxes, who does he think will pay them? Big companies don’t pay taxes. They just add them to the product they manufacture and pass it on down the line, When Wal-Mart receives that product, they add on a bit for profit and an extra bit to cover the higher cost and then stack it on the shelves. Then Susie Shopper comes along and buys it, paying the accumulated taxes along with the store’s profit. Or maybe Susie doesn’t buy it ’cause the extra few cents make it too expensive for her budget.

Hedge Fund Manager Strikes Back at Obama

Read this article.

Let’s be clear, it is the job and obligation of all investment managers, including hedge fund managers, to get their clients the most return they can. They are allowed to be charitable with their own money, and many are spectacularly so, but if they give away their clients’ money to share in the “sacrifice,” they are stealing. Clients of hedge funds include, among others, pension funds of all kinds of workers, unionized and not.
